Yes, I’m off to a retreat … from today until Thursday. I LOVE quilting retreats! Here is all my sewing stuff – do you think I have enough? I still need to pack my clothes – but hey, at least I have my priorities in order – right?
Everything is packed up – so I can’t show you up-to-date pictures of what I’ll be working on. But these projects are in line:
And there are a few other projects also tucked in. I will be lucky if I finish an eighth of what I am taking! Or maybe 1/16 th!!!
I did buy some fabric this week – but it’s going to be used to back quilts at the retreat. So – it doesn’t count. And, nothing got finished this week.

I have to admit to a little jealousy here…LOL…I hope you have fun at retreat! I would definitely over pack, simply because how do you know what you might want to work on, right? It sounds like a fun time and I look forward to reading about your adventures. Thanks for linking to MCM!

Beth, you’ve obviously over packed as well! I would rather have too many projects, than too few!

Have a wonderful retreat. I love to retreat. And, of course you need to have more projects available just in case you leave a needed piece at home, get bored with it, get really busy and make super progress. Enjoy yourself and your friends.
